Friday Giveaway – Branded and Broken by Laura Wright

Elaine Happy


Our winner is…Tiana. Congratulations.


I am having my own little celebration today. A few years ago I had to have surgery for a detached retina and I thought it was happening again in my other eye. I have been prepping my life for a repeat of last time where many things were off limits for several weeks including using a computer and reading!! But after several follow up appointments my eye surgeon has declared that if it hasn’t happened yet, chances are low that it will happen anytime soon (but no guaranties). That’s good enough for me!! Woo hoo!!

To celebrate my good fortune, I found a two-for on my bookshelf — the first two books in the Cavanaugh Brothers series.

Just stop by and say Hi to enter.

Giveaway ends Thursday, November 13th. Open to U.S. residents 18 years and older please.  NOTE:  These are Advance Review Copies!


In the small town of River Black, Texas, sits the Triple C—a working cattle ranch that sustains the town. But it also holds painful memories and shocking secrets for the Cavanaugh brothers…

When the Cavanaugh brothers return home for their father’s funeral, they discover unexpected evidence of the old man’s surprising double life—a son named Blue, who wants the Triple C Ranch as much as they do. The eldest son, Deacon, a wealthy businessman who couldn’t wait to leave the ranch and move on with his life, is looking to use his powerful connections to stop Blue at any cost. He never expected the ranch’s forewoman, Mackenzie Byrd, to get in his way.

Mac knows Deacon means to destroy the ranch and therefore destroy her livelihood. But as the two battle for control, their attraction builds. Now Deacon is faced with the choice of a lifetime: Take down the Triple C to feed his need for revenge, or embrace the love of the one person who has broken down every barrier to his heart.



The Cavanaugh brothers left behind River Black, Texas, long ago. But after their father dies, bequeathing them the Triple C, a cattle ranch that sustains their small town, they return—and confront the painful memories of their childhood home and the truth about their sister’s murder…

For years, James Cavanaugh has traveled the world as a horse whisperer, but even the millions he’s earned hasn’t healed the pain he hides behind his stoic exterior. Forced to tackle old demons at the ranch, James throws himself into work to avoid his true feelings. Until he meets a woman who shakes the foundations of his well-built walls…

Sheridan O’Neil’s quiet confidence has served her well, except when it comes to romance. Tired of rejection, she’s ready to swear off men. But after being rescued from a horse stampede by the most beautiful cowboy she’s ever met, her resolve wavers. Only, as Sheridan uncovers James’s belief that no woman is safe with him, she wonders if such a wounded man could ever give in to love, or if some hearts are too broken to be healed…

  31. Hi. Congrats on the best news in the world. I don’t know what I would do if I had to go even a week without reading. I had a friend in high school eho told me that she would be going blind soon, so she was read everything she could before that happens. Unfortunately she was a could grade under me and after I graduated we lost touch. I wonder how she id today and hear your story has made me wsnt to look her up again. So even if I don’t win the books, I’d like to say thank you for sending out to find a friend I should have kept in touch with all these past years.
